The GPN – Gruppo La Piccola Napoli celebrates a journey of growth and success since its founding on August 16, 2016, by Paco Linus. Initially conceived as a simple space for friends passionate about Neapolitan pizza and gastronomy, it has evolved into a global community with nearly 95,000 members, over 400 registered associates, and more than 200 instructors, including pizza makers, chefs, bakers, and pastry chefs.
With the goal of promoting Neapolitan culinary art and passing it on to future generations, the group values the use of traditional Campanian products, preserving heritage while offering real opportunities for young people entering this extraordinary craft.
The group has achieved remarkable milestones, including the registration of the GPN® trademark, the attainment of two Guinness World Records, the 50 Top Pizza Award for Association Merit, and the organization of the MSC Trophy. The association has also received the blessing of Pope Francis, acknowledging its cultural impact.
GPN stands out for its intense activity, with more than 250 daily posts and a strong presence both on social media and in real‑world initiatives, organizing culinary cruises, training courses, and professional events. The group’s website and social channels serve as platforms for sharing knowledge, techniques, and innovations in the field of gastronomy.
As it approaches the milestone of 100,000 followers, GPN continues to be a leading reference point for spreading the art of Neapolitan pizza, keeping tradition alive while promoting excellence and innovation on a global scale.
